Empty words in a world left behind

Empty words in an empty tone, truth gets lost in the way you talk, say it loud but you say it wrong, every promise already gone. Smiles freeze when the lights go dim, all that gold starts caving in, time keeps falling through my hands, I don’t think you understand. Say it slow, say it straight, every sound feels second-rate, look me dead in the face, feel the silence, feel the weight. Empty words, that’s all I find, empty thoughts on my mind, empty streets, empty signs, empty hearts passing time. Human noise in a quiet room, too much talk, nothing true, every vow feels pre-designed, rehearsed lips, vacant eyes. Moon stays high but it feels cold, same old lies getting sold, you talk close but I feel far, silence louder than you are. Empty souls still alive, just surviving, not divine, empty world, empty lines, empty words — that’s my life.
